One of
the most anticipated by fans and the longest delayed video games in history is
none other than Duke Nukem Forever.
The game was in development as far back as 1997 and still isn't on store
shelves.

Kotaku reports that the game was picked up with development tasks
changing to Gearbox in 2009, and finally things seemed to start moving again.
If you are familiar with the long and delayed story of Duke Nukem Forever, this won't surprise you a bit. The game is delayed again. The publisher of the game issued
an official statement pointing out that the new delay is the shortest in the
history of the franchise.

2K president Christoph Hartmann said, "In case you haven't heard, Duke
never comes early. We thank Duke's fans for their continued patience - I
promise this won't take another 15 years."

Gearbox also offered its own apology in the form of an official statement from
Randy Pitchford that read, "I'm very sorry for the added delay. We've all
been working extremely hard and are very eager to deliver the game to
you."

The exact reason for the delay isn't offered. The only good news is that the
May 3 U.S. release date has only been pushed to June 14. After this long wait, Duke Nukem Forever needs to deliver on
all fronts. One hint of suck and the backlash will be as epic as the delays on
the game.

So far the game sounds very interesting, though most reserve judgment until the
final product lands.

One interesting feature is the Capture
the Babe mode since Duke is too manly for boring Capture the Flag. Players
must capture the opposing team’s babe, and have the option to smack her around
if she gets too rowdy.

The
comeback for Duke Nukem Forever was announced in September of 2010.
